Tiger Woods at 9/1 to Win Major in 2022, Odds Far Too Short for Most Golf Bettors

Tiger Woods hasn’t won a professional person golf game tourney inward to a greater extent than ii years. But since he’s consistently the most-bet linksman on the PGA Tour whenever he tees it up, oddsmakers are playing it safe when it comes to the 45-year-old’s chances of winning his 16th major championship in 2022.

Unattractive Line

During lastly week’s father/son PNC Championship, Woods laboured end-to-end the rounds with his son, Charlie. The 12-year-old largely carried around his begetter on their path to a second-place goal behind John Lackland Daly and his son, John Lackland II.

Daly, the 1991 PGA and 1995 Open Championship winner, is i of Tiger’s believers.

I think Tiger is going to live fine. He looked good,” Daly said of Woods next the PNC. “He’ll be back. I could reckon it inward his eyes.”

Not everyone agrees.

These are horrible odds.
